But the clause provides that once you reach 20 years and you have not gained the threshold, then it is extended for another 10 years. I hope this will not come to men. My humble request as we go to the Committee of the whole House is that we can amend to remove 10 years because this will help women to work harder so that we only work for the time-frame of 20 years. I can see my friend (Ms.) Hon. Kajuju looking at me. I can confirm we are here because of our mothers. Some of us were brought up by our grandmothers and I salute all women. They can be very good leaders and we encourage them to vie for the gubernatorial seats. I salute Hon. Deputy Speaker and Hon. (Ms.) Mbarire who are going for the gubernatorial seats. We hope that if they become governors, we will have good governance and will add more value to the people at the grassroots level. We want to have women governors and have the “first men”.
